External Research at the IGC

IGC Research Laboratories

The IGC's scientific interests are centered on the genetic basis of development and evolution of complex systems, privileging organism-centred approaches and using experimental models that include plants, yeast, flies, frogs and mice, while working on the genetics of complex human diseases as well. A strong theoretical sector is also one of the IGC's specificities.
